The Hollywood Sign is not allowed to be lit at night. Would you support a ballot measure?

Question

The Hollywood Sign is an international landmark known to almost every person on Earth. It has more power and influence than any world government or body. It can be argued that the Hollywood Sign is the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty of the 21st Century.

Despite what most people think, the sign is not lit at night. A small handful of homeowners living beneath the sign have slapped lawsuits preventing L.A. from lighting the sign. Imagine the Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Big Ben or Eiffel Tower not being brightly lit. A small handful of people should not be able to control an international landmark.

What are your thoughts on the subject? and would you support a ballot measure allowing the Hollywood Sign to be lit?

Would u support the measure if the city & its taxpayers did not have to pay a dime for the equipment and power usage? How successful would you think to ask Hollywood studios to donate the cost of solar power cells and upkeep? They do owe their existance 2 her

Answer 1

Would you like a massive sign shining through your window at night??

People don't live on the Golden Gate Bridge, or in Big Ben, or the Eiffel Tower.

Oh yeah, how are solar pannels supposed to light a sign... at night? haha

gonna need a HUUUUUGE amount of batteries

Answer 2

It's a sign the designates a city, not a country. Besides, what does "Hollywood" denote other than self righteous snobs that try to tell everyone else how to live.

Answer 3

No, Hollywood should set an example and follow it's preaching, it would be greener to leave it unlit...

Answer 4

tear it down and close whorely wood.

Answer 5

I think your statement that the Hollywood sign has more power and influence than any world government is laughable.  How many highways has that sign built?  How many starving Africans has that sign fed?  

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the sign being lit, I just think you may want to re-phrase your question if you want to be taken seriously.

Answer 6

I think you need to get a life.
